AF NEWS had early reported of a suspected explosive item discovered at Afara Unity Primary School In Umuahia North of Abia State. 

 

In a press release made available to AF NEWS and signed by Abia State Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu moments ago, he revealed that state government and necessary security units are still investigating the item.

 

READ FULL RELEASE BELOW:

 

Press Release
Abia State Government is currently working with relevant security agencies in the state to unravel the source and nature of the suspected explosive devices found at Union Primary School, Afaraukwu in Umuahia North LGA.
While initial examination of the devices show evidence of corrosion leading to suspicion of the materials being relics of the civil war era, we are awaiting definite official report from the EOD squad of the Nigeria Police who are currently investigating the incident.
Meanwhile, necessary measures have been taken to protect the pupils and staff of the school with security sweeps ongoing while the school is temporarily closed.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has directed security agencies to embark on proactive checks in other vulnerable locations out of abundance of caution.
While we are grateful to God that there is no harm to life or property, we urge citizens and residents to continue to maintain vigilance and report suspicious situations to security agents.
Thank you.
Chief John Okiyi Kalu
Honorable Commissioner for Information.
